Dr. Schwartz has caused me several years of pain and suffering due to her poor decisions regarding the birth of my daughter. She instructed hospital staff to not enter my room for several hours during painful contractions (she admitted this to me). Then, when she finally did arrive at the hospital and allowed me to begin pushing, my daughter's head was stuck in the birth canal. She instructed the nurse and my husband to hyperflex my legs (the nurse would not comply, so I had to hold my own leg), which caused an open book fracture in my pelvis which went undetected. I could not sit or walk without extreme pain. I could not nurse or care for my baby. When I arrived at her office crying in pain, her nurse assistant told me it was hemorrhoids (!) and sent me home with pain killers and suppositories. My fracture was never examined or treated. Six years later I have suffered chronic pain and now require surgery to fuse my hip.
I am considering legal action, but am torn between letting it go and moving on. At least I can warn others to make a better decision about their healthcare. She is too busy for you at the very least and incompetent at best. Please consider my story in your decision. Thank you.
